Just stay off the brakes as much as possible. No big secret really.

- enraged_camel 11y agoUnless your car has regenerative breaks, in which case you should randomly and unpredictably break to generate free energy. edit: downvoters are once again proving that HN doesn't get jokes.
- ska 11y agore: edit Have you tried being funnier?
- mod 11y agoI think it's more that HN doesn't appreciate jokes, the discussion tends away from that here. Also, from the guidelines: Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
- mikeash 11y agoAs I always say, HN doesn't have a problem with humor, but it needs to actually be funny.
- frankzinger 11y agoI thought it was a decent enough joke. Tough room.
- hinkley 11y agoOne of the things I like most about my Jetta TDLie is that the DSG will downshift if you keep the brakes on for more than about 5 seconds. On long downhills I can take my foot off the brake for about half the trip down and the gearbox does the rest until the speed slowly creeps back up.
